Ashadhi Ekadashi, popularly known as Tholi Ekadashi in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, is also called Devshayani Ekadashi, Hari Shayani Ekadashi, Shayani Ekadashi, and Padma Ekadashi. It is one of the most sacred Ekadashis in the Hindu calendar. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, especially in His Vitthal (Vithoba) form worshipped in Maharashtra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival is famous for the Pandharpur Wari, one of India’s largest annual pilgrimages, where millions of devotees walk to Pandharpur chanting the name of Lord Vitthal. Ashadhi Ekadashi also marks the beginning of Chaturmas, the four holy months during which Lord Vishnu is believed to enter Yoga Nidra (cosmic sleep).<\/span><\/p>\n
